Cruise Over To These Bergen Car Shows
From fast Ferraris to vintage ’Vettes, all your favorite rides are lining up for you to see at showcases throughout the area.
You can flip through a magazine or scroll images online, but it’s something special to see a cool car in the wild. C’mon, we know you did a double take the first time you saw a Tesla Cybertruck cruising down the Parkway.
But why wait with your fingers crossed with hopes that an exotic sports car or a custom hot rod rolls through the neighborhood? In Bergen County, there are many upcoming car shows where the proud owners of these awesome autos show off their rides while talking to visitors about everything from engines to maintenance. In most cases, they’ll even let you take a few photos—some might even offer you a chance to sit in one as well!
